On March 20, 2014 Trans Mountain filed a Consultation Update with the National Energy Board (NEB), which provides a summary of our ongoing consultation activities since the filing of the Facilities Application. This filing is a public document that includes details of our consultation activities with stakeholders, Aboriginal groups and landowners conducted between August and December 31, 2013.

On December 16, 2013 Trans Mountain filed the Facilities Application to the NEB which included details of our comprehensive stakeholder engagement activities conducted during the period of April 1, 2012 and July 31, 2013 and Aboriginal engagement activities conducted during the period of April 1, 2012 and September 30, 2013. As stated in the Application, while the 15,000 page document was prepared for filing, public consultation and communication about the project continued, and this filing reflects that ongoing work.
